Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 933 - 441: Trust Me

With the massive popularity of Rong Xianning, the sudden family scandal hit the entertainment industry like a drop of water in hot oil, causing an explosive reaction.

Marketing accounts rushed to report, all sorts of onlookers focused their attention, and the anxious fans had no choice but to join the anti-rumor army.

Media outlets, quick to react, were camped out with their long-range cameras at the entrance of Eternal Century, ready to catch Rong Xianning in action.

With such a hot topic, who wouldn’t be eager?

Shen You’an told Xiao Hu to take another elevator down first and drive the car near the elevator entrance.

In the elevator, Shen You’an helped Rong Xianning disguise himself, putting on a hat, mask, and sunglasses.

As Shen You’an helped him with the mask, she met the young man’s gaze, she looking up, him looking down.

The elevator lights flickered slightly, the cramped space felt even more oppressively quiet, and as they descended rapidly, their gazes met, their breaths mingled, as if in that moment they were the only two people in the world.

In that brief instant of eye contact, a seed quietly sprouted in some corner of her heart and began to grow at an incredible speed.

Within seconds, Shen You’an broke the tension with a teasing smile, "I was worried you’d never grow taller, but it’s only been half a year and you’ve grown so much already."

With that, she patted his hat brim.

Rong Xianning’s eyes flickered, his expression restrained and controlled.

Shen You’an put sunglasses on him, cutting off his gaze.

The elevator arrived, and once Shen You’an saw no paparazzi waiting outside after cautiously checking, she quickly pulled Rong Xianning out and into a black business car parked a short distance from the elevator entrance.

Just as they got into the car, a few vans approached from the front, and several people with cameras got out. Xiao Hu drove past them narrowly.

The group looked around, "Is it this building? Don’t get the wrong place and let other media get the scoop first."

As they spoke, one man’s gaze fell on the black business car passing by, but the tinted windows obscured anything from view.

The paparazzo’s instincts made him check the license plate, but it was unfamiliar, not the car Rong Xianning usually used.

Xiao Hu, seeing through the rearview mirror that the reporters weren’t following, breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, they switched cars; otherwise, they’d be swarmed and it would be hard to leave.

This was all thanks to Shen You’an’s reminder. Xiao Hu couldn’t help but be impressed by her meticulous thinking, she truly had Xiao Rong’s best interests at heart.

"Let’s head to my place first, I need to pick up some things."

As they drove from the underground garage, they could see from afar the crowded entrance of Eternal Century, filled with a mass of people.

Xiao Hu felt lingering fear, "Good thing we left in time, or we’d really be in trouble."

Midway, a call came from Ding Meng, informing them that the tickets to Australia for Rong Xianning and Xiao Hu had been booked and arrangements at the airport had been made.

Unable to hold back, Ding Meng asked in confusion, "What exactly are you going to Australia for? Do you know how chaotic it is there? Going there with Xiao Rong is asking for trouble. There’s still time to back out; I can find an agent to negotiate and try to rescue that old guy first, you shouldn’t take this risk."

Having just looked up some information on Australia, Ding Meng was almost scared to death.

The infamous gambling city wasn’t just talk; it’s a world of debauchery, extravagance, seedy mixes, rampant underworld activities, with major gangs often at war. For the wealthy, it’s a place to gamble away money; for ordinary people, it’s a trap. There are many ways for a person to disappear quietly, and it’s incredibly difficult to track down.

Especially considering Rong Yu’s gambling debt at Ouri Casino, the largest in Australia, run by a powerful owner who holds sway over both legal and illegal dealings. Even the local government avoids conflict with them. A rich second-generation heir once owed a huge gambling debt there, and with no family support, lost a hand and was sent to work in the mines to pay it off, and no one dared to investigate.

How could she possibly be at ease with sending two minors, Rong Xianning and Shen You’an, into that on their own? It’s insanity. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Shen You’an directly rejected her, "I have my own ways, just focus on what you need to do."

With that, she hung up the phone.

As soon as she hung up, Gao Yuyue called.

Her uncle, Ren Mingze, knew the big boss in Australia, maybe he could help.

Shen You’an declined her offer and thanked her uncle, she had already found the right connections.

Liu Runxi also called, sharing his network resources one by one, earnestly hoping to help Rong Xianning.

Even Yan Lu reached out to her aunt; Yan Xue knew quite a few big shots in the entertainment world, also hoping to assist Rong Xianning.

Touched by her friends’ selfless help, Shen You’an expressed her gratitude to each, promising to reach out if needed.

Before getting out of the car, Shen You’an told Xiao Hu, "Take Aning to the airport first, make sure to protect his safety."

Xiao Hu nodded solemnly.

Shen You’an looked at Rong Xianning, "From now on, I can’t openly stay by your side, but don’t be afraid; I’m always with you, just in a different way. Trust me."

The girl’s eyes were bright and determined, making one moved.

Rong Xianning suddenly embraced her; Shen You’an froze for a moment, then gently held him back.

"Believe me, it’ll be alright."

After Shen You’an got out of the car, she lowered her hat brim and returned to her residence.

Back home, she took a high-spec, latest model phone out of the drawer in her study and plugged it in to charge.

As soon as she turned it on, a flood of messages came through.

Shen You’an quickly scanned through and made a call.

The other party answered immediately, "Oh my, young master, finally some news from you."

"I believe I still own shares in Ouri, right?"

"Three years ago, the management of Ouri changed, the stock price plummeted, and you seized the opportunity to buy in, causing a huge stir in Australia back then. You remember only now?" the man on the phone said, his voice turning sharp with surprise.

Shen You’an remained silent.

Amos invested and acquired globally to the extent she couldn’t even remember. If it weren’t for this mess Rong Yu caused, she’d truly have forgotten she was a major shareholder of Ouri.

"As a major shareholder, shouldn’t I make an appearance at Ouri?"

The other party was thrilled, "That would be fantastic, you haven’t shown up in these three years, the outside world is curious about you, and the folks below are getting restless. It’s the perfect opportunity to assert dominance, show them who truly is the king of Australia."

"I need you to help me investigate someone first."

"Who? If you’re personally interested, they must be someone of importance."

"Just a lousy gambler who recently lost a billion at Ouri."

The person on the other end paused, then cautiously asked, "Is this person a friend of yours?"

Shen You’an smiled, using a youthful, magnetic voice, "Take good care of him, just keep him alive."

Seems like an enemy.

"Understood. When will you arrive in Australia? I can arrange for a car to pick you up at the airport."

"No need, I have my own arrangements."

Twenty minutes later, a golden-haired, blue-eyed beautiful youth stepped out.

Rong Xianning arrived at the airport, with Xiao Hu escorting him into the hall, walking low-key. The photographers arranged by Ding Meng stayed hidden, flashes going off repeatedly.

Rong Xianning was too famous, although he wore a hat, mask, and sunglasses, fans familiar with him recognized him instantly. A shout of "Rong Xianning" in excitement attracted everyone’s attention at once.

In no time, everyone swarmed over, packing the airport hall tightly.

Xiao Hu struggled to protect Rong Xianning, but there were too many people, and his strength was like a drop in the ocean compared to the massive crowd; the slender Rong Xianning was like a lone boat drifting in the ocean, swaying with the tide of people.

Airport security promptly arrived, forcibly separating the crowd to protect Rong Xianning and escort him into the waiting area.

Rong Xianning, almost collapsing, fell into a chair, looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the endless expanse of the tarmac, even at this late hour, planes continued to come and go without rest.

"Isn’t An’an here yet?" he asked softly.

Xiao Hu shook his head, "Miss Shen has her own plans. We just have to remember her instructions closely. Maybe she’s not far, watching over you."

Rong Xianning curled his lips in a self-deprecating smile.

To be guarded by a girl, where did he get the face?

Too weak, he’s still too weak.

"There’s still half an hour before boarding, use this time to rest a bit."
